My Breitling Family

[Guest submersible24g]

Here is my family of Breits.

First is a Bentley Big Boy at 48.4mm, next is my genuine Chronomat Evo on factory black leather deployant, third is my rep Chronomat Evo on pilot bracelet, ending with my Fighters Navitimer w/ custom brushed finished case/band.

and the new 2006 Breitling catalog is a Bible!!!! at about 200 pages its a real read.

is that the rep strap, looks pretty good

[Guest submersible24g]

no the Chronmat Evolution on the black strao is a Genuine on the genuine strap.

it came with two straps. a black calf and deplyant and a brown croc and buckle. i guess when you drop $4900 on a watch you get a little sumpin!!

the Chronomat on the bracelet is the rep.

i almost got excited

i am holding out for the 2 tones in the breitling i have the red bently -

i''m hoping for a blue and green 2 tone. i was planning on making a frankin with a crosswind 2 tone gen dial on this chronomat rep like someone else did on trc - his looked pretty good

so, since you have a real and a rep how do they compair? i really love the 48mm bentley and am dying to get one.....where did you get yours??

Wow! I am really interested in the differences you found on the 2 Chrono's. Love to hear your opinion. Could you tell the difference if you hadn't owned the original? Weight? Feel? Quality?

look here for side by side shot:

if i did not own the genuine i wouldnt be able to tell. the workmanship is fabulous and even though there are slight quality differences, i would not have paid $4900 for the genuine if the rep had been out when i bought this one.

after tearing them both down today i can say assuredly than the parts will interchange between the two, the screws on the bezel, the bezel quarter pieces that bolt on, the caseback, crown and entire bezel all swap out easily bewteen rep and genuine. its MBW type [censored].

this is a TRUE 1:1 copy for sure.

Beautiful collection of Breitlings. Great, great watches. I'm a huge fan of Chronomat Evo and will buy the rep eventually.
